    I bought one of these,turned out to be a lemon. Nice finish but not accurate,firstly suspected the bedding and lack of decent recoil lug,got that fixed but still no good.Eventually bit the bullet and went to a lilja barrel and it shoots really great.Also replaced the rubbish muzzle brake and put a decent scope base on it.

    sounds like an expensive exercise considering they come with an accuracy guarantee
